Hey, now that would be a cool feature that I could use also.  Right now I
am using my pager card to receive all priority messages.  I would love to
give that poor card a break.

Subject: Ricochet and Presto!Mail/Presto!Links

Can anyone tell me if Presto!Links and Presto!Mail support Ricochet
(actual experience, please...I know it's there as a setup option).
I've just found out that Ricochet service is available in some of the
DC area, even though they haven't officially announce service yet, and
if someone can confirm that these things are the marriage made in
heaven that I think they are, I am all over it :).

Thanks,
Justin

Good, Scott, ad hominem attacks usually yield solid, tangible results in
getting  a company to listen to you. Hey, still got that copy of FreeStyle
"for sale?" Thought not.

Forwarded for Steve Schramm:

Bob,
I read all messages personally, and I'd respond more except that my last
couple of months of responses went into the bit bucket. I used to post much
more information -- older list customers remember this. (Joel, please post
this if it doesn't appear). Meanwhile, I'm going to unsubscribe and
resubscribe to see if that helps. Thanks. \Steve

Subject: RETR time out with Presto!Mail 1.5

 I'm using 2 different ISPs with Presto!Mail 1.5. With one of them when I
get new email, I get the "RETR time out" error message. After, when I'm
trying to get this new email with Eudora, there's no mail!

The provider get the QPOP from Qualcomm version 2.1.4R3.

Thanks in advance!

Martin

I really don't care if the interface is just like the PDA.  My main goal
is to have the ability to use eather device and then send to the other
one easily.  although having the interface the same would be helpful,
you don't have to learn two different systems.
